Bottom line, Warriors took on RJ's contract for a late 1st Round pick (Ezeli) in fear of not having a 1st rd pick.
Question is, was RJ's contract and his ramifications on their salary cap leverage worth Ezeli? Right now I would say no to be honest, as Ezeli doesn't look like much other than a big body.
They probably should have just traded Jackson for an expiring stiff big man.
